My Analysis of Student Films

Above is an AS Media film opening titled "Angeldust". Immediately from watching the film's opening, we are made aware that the film's genre will either be Horror or Thriller. We are made aware that there will be some form of threat (the person entitled Lester727) and many enigma codes are seen in the opening which leads the audience to believe that the person entitled Lester727 is the antagonist of the film. For example, at 0:21, the message says "Found some Fresh Flesh on Facespace", which makes the audience aware that something is not as it seems. This also does not give away too much information to the audience, yet makes the audience aware that the narrative is open and more events are going to happen. The only issue with this film opening is the timing of the titles, as the film's title actually appears quite far in as a pose to right at the beginning of the film which is different to generic films.
